Opening Stylesheets

To open a stylesheet:
1. In the Stylus Studio tool bar, click Open . Stylus Studio displays the Open dialog box.

Alternatives: Select File > Open or press Ctrl+O.

2. If the stylesheet is not stored on a WebDAV or FTP server, navigate to the stylesheet and select it. Otherwise, click the button on the left that represents the location of the stylesheet you want to open. Now navigate to the file and select it.
3. Click Open.

The XSLT stylesheet is displayed in the XSLT editor.

After you open a stylesheet, you can edit it. However, to be able to apply the stylesheet to an XML document, you must create a scenario. See Applying Stylesheets.

About the XSLT Editor

The XSLT editor, which displays a stylesheet when you open it, has four tabs at the bottom.

The XSLT Source, Mapper, and Params/Other tabs are always available. The WYSIWYG tab is available only when the stylesheet generates HTML.

 

The WYSIWYG tab is available only in Stylus Studio XML Professional Edition.

Editing XSLT as XML

If you want, you can edit an XSLT file as an XML file. To do this, open the stylesheet in the XML editor instead of in the XSLT editor. In the Open dialog box, click the down arrow in the Open button. Click XML Editor in the drop-down menu. A document can be open in the XML editor and in the XSLT editor at the same time.

Using Stylus Studio with RenderX XEP

RenderX XEP is a production-quality engine that converts XSL:FO into PDF or PostScript files. You can use RenderX XEP in place of the Apache FOP engine to render PDF files from Stylus Studio.
